SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Dispersed camping opportunities abound near Oasis, Utah, with several free sites located in the surrounding public lands. The Pahvant Valley Heritage Trail Dispersed camping area provides a highly-rated primitive camping experience with both drive-in and walk-in access. Other notable dispersed options include Whiskey Creek Road USFS Dispersed and Dispersed Sandy Lot, which accommodate tent camping with minimal amenities. For those seeking more developed facilities, established campgrounds like Fillmore KOA offer full hookups, showers, and accommodations ranging from tent sites to cabins and glamping options.
Road conditions vary significantly throughout the region, with many dispersed sites requiring travel on unpaved forest roads. High clearance vehicles may be necessary to access more remote camping areas, particularly along West Fork 8 Mile Road and Whiskey Creek Road. One camper noted, "I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. I drove up the dirt road for a while until I found a nice flat spot for the night." Most dispersed sites in the area permit fires but lack amenities such as drinking water, toilets, or trash service. Cell service can be spotty in canyon areas but surprisingly good at some higher elevation sites, with one reviewer reporting "3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service" at their remote location.
Campers consistently rate the solitude and natural setting as highlights of dispersed camping in this region. The landscape features a mix of desert terrain, mountain views, and occasional creek access. Several visitors mentioned sharing their camping areas with local cattle, creating a unique rural experience. "There was NO one there except one guy that road by on his UTV and then eventually packed up and left right before sun down," reported one camper at West Fork 8 Mile Road. For those preferring more amenities, the established campgrounds near Fillmore provide convenient access to services while still offering scenic mountain backdrops. The Fillmore KOA receives positive reviews for its "large grassy sites, full hookups, pool, bathrooms and free showers," making it a comfortable alternative to the more primitive dispersed options throughout the region.

Not bad for one night
This is ok for a quick overnight stop. It’s a separate
RV area mostly away from the gas station noise and traffic. You still get some noise, especially trucks at night. Full hookups. You book and pay on the Love’s app. The Love’s has showers and laundry. Showers are discounted for RV Srop patrons. They have electric vehicle chargers

Fillmore Utah KOA Review: A Quiet, Clean, and Scenic I-15 Stopover
If you're traveling up or down Interstate 15 through central Utah and need an excellent place to unhitch for the night, the Fillmore Utah KOA (officially the Fillmore KOA Journey) is a fantastic choice. Our crew recently rolled through, and it checked all the boxes for a perfect road trip stopover—with a few fun surprises along the way!
Location and Accessibility
Convenience is king when you're logging long miles, and this campground truly delivers.
Easy Access: Located right off I-15, it's incredibly easy to navigate your rig into the park without dealing with stressful detours.
Provisions: It sits right next to a Maverik gas station, making morning fuel-ups effortless. There are also grocery stores nearby, so restocking the RV pantry is quick and painless. Trail Access: For the off-roaders out there, this park is a hidden gem. It boasts direct, easy access to an extensive network of SxS and ATV trails (including access to the famous 1,000+ mile Paiute Trail system). Recent fires have complicated things however many miles of beautiful trails are still to be found.
Campground Vibe and Site Quality
The"Local" Wildlife: The absolute highlight of our stay was a visit from the unofficial campground host—a wild turkey! It definitely gave us a good laugh and added some unique character to the stop.
Cleanliness and Staff: The RV sites were impeccably clean and well-maintained. We also can't say enough good things about the staff, who were wonderfully friendly and helpful from the moment we pulled in.
Atmosphere: Despite being so close and convenient to the interstate, the park is very quiet at night. Waking up to nice, serene views of the surrounding mountains was the perfect way to start our next day of travel.
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Whether you are just passing through central Utah on I-15 or looking for a comfortable home base to hit the nearby ATV trails, the Fillmore KOA is a top-tier choice. Great staff, spotless sites, stunning mountain views, and the occasional wild turkey make this a memorable and reliable stop. We will absolutely stay here again.
Rating: Highly Recommended by the entire Hitched4fun.com crew!

Like boondocking with perks
Close to nature, the lake, the stars, and the main freeway. Optional add-on elec. hookup nice for charging EV car or Rv hookup. Picnic table, fire ring, and small deck for tent, plus access to potable water on site. Nice panoramic views of Utah mountains and sunrise and sunset. Back roads great for a walk or e-bike ride. Great stargazing at night. Cell service good, no shade.

Beautiful spot to stop for the night
We got here late on a Monday night, sites were easy to find even in the dark. there was maybe 3-4 other groups there but it was still very quiet. The last section of road is roughhhh but as long as you’re not in a low profile car you should be fine. Theres also camp sites before the chunk of nasty road. Lots of cows that roam, we were woken up by one of them trying to eat our car lol! But with that there’s cow poop everywhere but I personally didn’t mind it. Highly recommend!!

Missed the Campground !
We drove right by the entrance. Couldn’t believe it on the way out! How did we miss it? The entrance is a right turn right at the national Forest sign. We camped about a mile up the gravel road. For us, not a comfortable drive with our 35 foot trailer. However, a nice secluded spot was found for some Boondocking. On the left there are two entry points. I took a picture of one. There are about four or five sites in this area. It is adjacent to a dry creek bed. I would not camp here with a trailer when there is a threat of precipitation.

I had a truly frightening experience at yuba lake
I had a truly frightening experience at Yuba Lake. A severe sandstorm came through and the conditions became extremely dangerous. There was so much sand in the air that we could barely see and could not breathe properly. My daughter had difficulty breathing and chest pain. The situation was serious enough that the Coast Guard responded to two boats on the lake and officials were using megaphones, telling people to leave because of the emergency conditions. We left everything behind—our tent, food, bedding, and supplies—because our only concern was getting to safety. I understand that weather can change anywhere, but I hope future campers take the weather forecasts and wind warnings very seriously. What we experienced was terrifying and could have become much worse. We have to run away and rent a hotel for the night 😭😢

What to do
Explore lava tubes: The Pahvant Valley Heritage Trail Dispersed area provides access to unique geological features. "This is a primitive spot no tables or fire pits. You can camp in the lava tube they are warm in the winter and it is a fun place to explore. This is close to the hot pots and we stay here in the fall or spring," notes camper Brad B.
Visit nearby hot springs: Several camping areas provide convenient bases for hot spring exploration. "Very unique and cool spot. Close to hot pots and great hiking areas," reports Becky J. about the Pahvant Valley area.
ATV trail access: The Fillmore KOA provides convenient access to extensive OHV trail networks. "Great location if you ATV or just need a night along Interstate 15," writes Kristi R., adding that the owners were "kind and accommodating" for travelers experiencing vehicle issues.
What campers like
Solitude and quiet: Fish Lake National Forest Campsite offers peaceful dispersed camping despite its proximity to I-15. "Really quiet despite being so close to the interstate," notes Kristy B. Another camper mentioned, "There was one other camper and it was very quiet."
Wildlife encounters: Many campers report sharing space with local wildlife. At the Whiskey Creek Road USFS Dispersed site, one reviewer notes camping was "Quiet and peaceful" and "No one to be seen for miles." At other sites, cattle are common neighbors during certain seasons.
Mountain views: Oak Creek Recreation Site offers scenic mountain backdrops. "It is nestled in a canyon in the Fishlake National Forest," writes Dennis C., who discovered the campground by accident while traveling east along US-50. He adds it "must be the best kept secret in western Utah for camping."
What you should know
Cell service varies dramatically: Service depends on terrain and elevation. At West Fork 8 Mile Road sites, one camper reported having "3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service" despite being in a remote location.
Water availability is limited: Most dispersed sites lack potable water. The Oak Creek Recreation Site provides water, but quality varies. One camper noted, "The water from the in-ground spigots smelled and tasted like pool water and was also not ice cold."
Road conditions require planning: Many dispersed sites require traveling on unpaved roads of varying quality. At Sandy Lot dispersed site, "Access is easy on and off from a gravel road. Campers, RVs, and people with tents can easily use this site," according to Randy C.
Seasonal considerations: Weather can change rapidly in this area. One camper at Oak Creek noted, "We had temps dip down into the teens overnight with a dusting of snow in late September, be sure to pack layers."
Tips for camping with families
Look for established sites with facilities: The Antelope Valley RV Park offers showers and laundry facilities. "This is a large, nicely kept, clean RV park with water, electrical 30 amp and 50 amp and sewer. Showers are available at no cost and laundry is available," notes Karen W.
Plan for temperature fluctuations: Given the elevation, nights can be cold even when days are warm. Pack accordingly, especially with children. "We had temps dip down into the teens overnight with a dusting of snow in late September, be sure to pack layers," advises one Oak Creek camper.
Educational opportunities: The area offers unique learning experiences for kids. At Whiskey Creek Road, Chula R. reports, "Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees," and the elevated position allowed for "nice views and a breeze."
Tips from RVers
Best overnight stops: For those traveling through on I-15, convenient options exist. One camper at Fillmore KOA stayed in "site 33 which was great because we didn't have to unhook our tow vehicle and you have no one looking in your front windshield."
Road access considerations: For larger rigs, stick to established campgrounds. The Oak Creek campground accommodates "small campers max, no RV parking or hookups," according to one reviewer.
Hookup availability: Full service options are limited but available. Fillmore KOA offers "large grassy sites, full hookups, pool, bathrooms and free showers," making it suitable for longer stays with larger rigs.
